Why Man Utd Failed To Sign Real Madrid Star — Mourinho

17 Julio 2017

Madrid would be willing to listen to an offer from the Rossoneri of 70 million euros (this would come with a contract of around 10 million euros) in an attempt to please the youngster who is now looking for a change of scenary, depsite only returning to the Spanish capital last summer.

The fee agreed between the two clubs at that time was £29m but the 26-year-old 'keeper would now cost at least double that amount, barring any unlikely swap involving Kroos.

Manchester United have already begun their pre-season trip and Jose Mourinho's plan for the next season are in full swing.

Real have been unable to find a buyer for James Rodriguez, instead agreeing to loan the Colombian midfielder to Bayern Munich earlier this month.

"What I said today is what I say today. But why not wait for a player who gave us so much, we are changing ideas and it's with Mr. Woodward, executive vice-chairman, and Zlatan's agent but the final decision is the best for the player".

Herrera revealed that he had been in the dark over United's interest in Lukaku, admitting his disappointment to have missed out on his compatriot.

"Clearly we are still thinking of doing something else in that position. The transfer market is still open for a long time". Clubs put price tags on players, not the one who wants to buy.

This name-drop has since alerted United and Arsenal fans into somewhat of a frenzy, with many claiming that the incident was more than just an accident. "They desperately wanted [to stay at] Milan, so that was the simple key to it all".
